Primary text

The *Aqilah* is responsible for bearing the *Diyah* of a woman without any disagreement among scholars regarding this ruling. Furthermore, the *Aqilah* bears responsibility for injuries whose *Diyah* reaches one-third of the *Diyah* of a man, such as the *Diyah* of a woman's nose. Injuries resulting in less than one-third of a man's *Diyah*, such as the *Diyah* of a hand, are not borne by the *Aqilah*.
